WHAT AN I To DO ? The symp>
toms of Biliousness are unhappily but
too we'll known. They differ In diff
ferent individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom q breakfast
eater. Too frequently, alas, he has
an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids OF a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time il it /. not white and fur-
red, 1t is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhoids or even loss OF blood. There
may be giddiness and often head
ache aud acidity or flatulence and
tenderness in the pit of the stomach.
To correct all this II not effect cure

vertisement of j. r. Smith s. Co.,

be the propristors OF the largest Fur
